About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is navigating the nuances of a blended family or struggling to connect with an older relative who seems to live in a completely different world. It is a gentle, relatable tool for discussing how we show love to people whose interests and paces differ from our own. In this installment, young Karen Brewer adopts a grandmother from a local senior center, bringing her total count to five. While Karen initially loves the idea of having more grandmas than anyone else, she soon discovers that building a real bond with Grandma B requires patience and an open mind. The story beautifully handles themes of intergenerational empathy and the responsibility of maintaining friendships. It is perfectly suited for early elementary readers who are transitioning into longer narratives but still benefit from the visual support of a graphic novel.
